Champions
League:
It's a knockout
Newcastle
3 Qarabag FK 2
Newcastle
completed an aggregate 9-3 victory over their Azerbaijani opponents
on Tuesday night, rubber-stamping a place in the knockout stages of
the Champions League, where they'll face either Barcelona or
Chelsea.
Racing into a two goal lead after eight minutes in Baku, United were
off the mark even quicker at Gallowgate, both Sandro Tonali and
Joelinton netting within six minutes.
However the earlier impetus in front of goal was gradually lost and
the visitors called goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale into action for the
first just time just past the half hour mark.
Unchanged after the interval, Eddie Howe's side were caught out five
minutes into the second period when Camilo Duran won his foot race
with Dan Burn and finished well at the Leazes End where the knot of
away fans celebrated.
That kick-started United into life and the porous Qarabag defence
was pierced for the ninth time when Sven Botman rose unchallenged to
head home Kieran Trippier's corner.
The next goal went the way of the visitors however, after Burn was
penalised for a handball in the box and although Ramsdale denied
Marko Jankovic from 12 yards, he was unable to keep out Elvin
Jafarguliyev's follow-up.
Qarabag were then denied an equaliser on the night by Ramsdale as
Tonali squared up to Joni Montiel in the United area but thankfully
escaped censure.
United's attempts at increasing the margin of victory in the closing
stages weren't particularly convincing: Woltemade twice failing with
headers and substitute pair Yoane Wissa and Joe Willock contributing
nothing of note.
It could be argued that the trio all wasted an opportunity offered
here tonight to boost their own reputations - Will Osula not far
behind in terms of ineffectiveness.
The scoreline was of course irrelevant by then, with no cost to the
hosts coming through injury or suspension - although Burn put in
more of a shift than he may have expected, trying to contain a
fleet-footed Qarabag attack.
Newcastle learn their Round of 16 opponents on Friday at 11am, when a draw
will decide if it's Barcelona or Chelsea.
United will be at home first, on
Tuesday March 10th or Wednesday March 11th, with the away leg on
Tuesday March 17th or Wednesday March 18th.
The Catalans won 2-1 at SJP in the League Phase of the competition
last September, while Chelsea drew 2-2 on Tyneside in the Premier
League in December.
Were the Magpies to face Premier League opposition in the Champions
League, the two legs would bookend a Premier League visit to
Stamford Bridge on Saturday March 14th.
A two-legged test against Barca meanwhile would see Hansi Flick's
side due to host Seville in La Liga on Sunday March 15th in between
games against United.
That doesn't automatically make a potential Toon visit to the Nou
Camp be played on Wednesday 18th though.
The PL issued a press release regarding the failure of UEFA to
honour domestic fixture lists when scheduling CL ties - presumably
La Liga is no different (read that
here).
Team:
Ramsdale, Trippier (Hall 54), A.Murphy, Botman (Willock 54),
Burn, Joelinton (Gordon 54), Tonali, Woltemade, J.Murphy (Shahar
87), Barnes, Osula (Wissa 73).
Subs n/u: Elanga, A.Harris, Neave, Pope, Ruddy.

Malick Thiaw served a one match suspension but both

banned.

Eddie Howe said:
"This was our target at the
start of the season.
"We discussed various things and to get to the knockout stages was
there for us and we felt we could achieve it with the players we
have.
"It's been a really exciting phase of this competition. We've really
enjoyed the different challenges.
"The knockout stage will be a
different challenge for us at the sharp end against elite teams, so
everything to look forward to.
"But at the back of my mind we have to get our Premier League form
back to where we want it to be and that will give us the best chance
to do well at this competition as well.
"I thought at 2-0 we probably came off the pedal. We didn't intend
to do that but it was sort of the natural reaction.
"In the second half the game became end-to-end which, for us, was a
real shame. For one, we extended too much energy and it meant we
didn't put pressure on their goal, so we're disappointed with that
45 minutes."
On Nick Woltemade:
"I think the main thing we've been saying to him is stay between
the lines. Certainly don't come away from their midfield line to
still be a goal threat because he's 6'7, he should still be a target
from crosses.
"There were a few balls there that on another day he could've got on
the end of because we want him to score goals. That's part of the
reason we brought him here.
"I think there were moments for
him but I think that was the least impact he's had in that position
for us."
On preferring Barcelona or
Chelsea:
"Genuinely I haven't given it a seconds thought. I know those
teams have been there for us. The main thing was to get through and
really pleased with the professional job we've done.
"I think if you look at the score over the two legs it's been
fantastic from the players even though today feels like a bit of a
hollow win for us.
"We had really enjoyed the game against Barcelona, we had a good game
against Chelsea here as well, we didn't win either, so I hope that's
a good omen for us."
On the Wor Flags banner
dedicated to him:
"Amazing. Big thank you to everyone that thought of that idea.
It's much appreciated the love that the supporters give me and the
team. It means everything."
Stats:
There was a first senior competitive appearance for 18 year
right back
Leo Shahar, who appeared from the bench.
Following six substitute outings in Premier League, Carabao Cup
and FA Cup games, there was a first senior competitive start for 21
year-old left back Alex Murphy.
Sandro Tonali is the latest player to score for Newcastle in
Premier League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Champions League games. He
emulates colleagues Dan Burn, Anthony Gordon, Joelinton, Lewis Miley, Joe Willock and Nick Woltemade.
Tonali now has 10 league and cup goals for United,
Joelinton 35 and Botman four.
This was United's 150th game in European
competitions since defeating Feyenoord 4-0 at home in 1968.
Their
81st win joins 33 draws and 36
losses, while goals for increases to 253 and goals against now
stands at 145.
The highest aggregate victory that Newcastle have posted in
European competition is the 10-2 UEFA Cup conquest of
Antwerp in 1994.
NUFC top European scorers:
30 Alan Shearer
15 Shola Ameobi

(Unusually, they're yet to benefit from an own goal)
They netted 88 times in 44 league and cup games last season,
breaking the century with 102 during the 51 competitive fixtures
during 2023/24.
Eddie Howe's side will play a
minimum of 58 games this season, their busiest schedule in the
Premier League era.
This was Qarabag's seventh competitive visit to a PL side
and they have lost them all:

Eddie Howe's
side return to Premier League action on Saturday, when The
Toffees head to Tyneside for an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm
kick-off.
Following a 4-1 win at Hill Dickinson Stadium in November, United
are bidding for their second PL double of the season - Burnley was
the other one.
Football Bobbles will have a
stall outside the Trent House from Noon. Card payments accepted.
Team: Bruno Guimaraes, Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento and
Lewis Miley remain out.
Malick Thiaw is available following his one match Champions League
suspension while Jacob Ramsey missed the Qarabag game due to a
slight hamstring issue but should be OK.
Sandro Tonali is one game away from completing a century of
appearances for Newcastle in all competitions.

Jack Grealish is sidelined.
Although they have routinely struggled on their own pitch, Everton
arrive at SJP unbeaten in their last five PL away games - drawing at
Burnley, winning at Forest, winning at Villa, drawing at Brighton
and winning at Fulham.
That run came after a 0-2 loss at Chelsea and was preceded by
another three game unbeaten away sequence: drawing at the mackems,
winning at Manchester United and winning at Bournemouth.
Referee: Stuart
Attwell - game number three this season for the Warwickshire
whistler, following on from the 1-3 loss at Brentford and 2-1 home
victory over Burnley.

A pulsating encounter at Little Benton on Saturday saw Newcastle's
youngsters race into an early three goal lead, only for the Premier
League North leaders to reply with five unanswered goals of their
own to claim all three points.
Magpies captain Matthew Taylor began the sequence of events that
led to his side's ninth minute opener when hitting a post - Jayden
Koussou eventually heading in after the corner kick that followed.
Taylor then teed up Kacey Wooster to hammer home an unstoppable
17th minute shot before a rerun of United's opener put them 3-0 up
four minutes later: Taylor firing against the goal frame and Henry
Johnson converting a header following another corner.
City began their comeback when Finlay Gorman's long-range strike
caught home custodian Roman Dowell off-guard on 34 minutes - and it
was 3-2 11 minutes later when Karim Cassim's speculative shot snuck
in.
Visiting forward Teddie Lamb rattled the crossbar with a header
in first half added time, but wasn't to be denied - making it 3-3 in
the opening minute of the second period.
Newcastle twice came close to regaining the lead on 51 minutes;
Ethan Ndiweni's shot saved by Max Hudson and Koussou's follow-up
blocked by a defender near the line.
The sides continued to trade blows and after City's Dexter Oliver
struck the United goal frame, Dowell denied Cassim.
City's pressure paid dividends on 73 minutes when they got their
noses in front for the first time - Lamb clipping his effort over
the advancing goalkeeper for 3-4.
The defending champions then sealed victory with four minutes of
normal time remaining; Oliver keeping his balance and calmly
slotting home City's fifth.
Team: Dowell, Johnson, Durrant, Epia (Cogdon 88), Moran, Taylor

Update :
Shirt
claim
From The Times, this is said to be a good approximation of
Newcastle's 2026/27 home shirt design by adidas, although the final
design is yet to be divulged (or leaked).
Sacrificing the clubs trademark black and white stripes for those of
differing widths is sure to divide opinion, as did Umbro's attempt
at something similar from 1990 to 1993 - often referred to in
derogatory terms as the barcode shirt.
Although the Premier League introduced rules preventing "material
changes" to club crests or recognised home shirt colours without fan
consultation, this design looks to fall within acceptable limits as
it's still black and white stripes.
PS: It's anticipated that a new front of shirt sponsor will replace
SELA next season, while a redesigned club badge won't be seen until
the 2026/27 campaign.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

Born Or Died:
1886
Harold Thomas
William Hardinge
born, Greenwich.
(1905-07)
 Harold
(also known as Wally) joined Newcastle in 1905, following spells at local non
league sides Eltham, Tonbridge and Maidstone United and an ongoing involvement
with Kent county cricket club.
Debuting in a 2-3 derby loss at Roker Park in September 1905, inside forward Hardinge was an
occasional starter during the rest of that season, scoring once to round off a
2-1 home victory over Sheffield United.
Moving to the Blades in 1907 at a cost of £350, Wally's football career
blossomed at Bramall Lane, averaging almost a goal every three games in his 150
appearances. One full England cap also followed, against Scotland at Hampden
Park in 1910.
Joining Woolwich Arsenal in 1913, he returned from serving in the Royal
Navy Air Service during WW1 and remained with the Gunners until hanging up his
boots in 1921.
Hardinge remains the only player to have represented Newcastle and played Test
Match cricket - being selected for England against Australia at Leeds in July 1921.
Managing a knock of 25 in the first innings, he fell after making just
five in the second innings.
The visiting side won by 219 runs, taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in
the five-match series and retaining the Ashes.
Named as 1915 Wisden Cricketer of the Year and representing Kent for 31
seasons, the presence of opening batsmen such as Jack Hobbs and
Herbert Sutcliffe restricted his England outings to just that one test.
Working for the Wisden cricket publications company until 1934, Harry also
coached at Leicestershire county cricket club.
He died in 1965, having settled in the Cambridge area.
1898
Lawrie Crown
born,
Fulwell, sunderland.
(1926-27)
Left back signed from South Shields during March 1926 for
£2,750, shortly after the Division Two Seasiders had knocked Birmingham out of
the
FA Cup.
Making his first team bow in a 0-2 home defeat by Huddersfield Town days later,
Crown retained his place for one further game before Frank Hudspeth returned.
Failing to get back into the senior side, Crown joined Bury for £350 a year
later.
Moving on to Coventry City in 1928, he remained with them for three years.
Lawrie passed away in 1984.
1898
Dugald
Livingstone
born, Alexandria,
Scotland. (Mgr
1954-56)
"Duggie" remains the last manager to win the FA Cup
with Newcastle, guiding them to success against Manchester City at Wembley in 1955.
A playing career with Celtic, Everton, Plymouth Argyle, Aberdeen and Tranmere
Rovers was followed by a first off-field role as Exeter City trainer, aged 37.
Later serving Sheffield United as trainer and Sheffield Wednesday as Manager, a
spell
coaching Dutch side
Sparta Rotterdam in 1949 then followed for Livingstone.
And after taking charge of the Eire national side and coaching
Belgium at the 1954 World Cup Finals, he accepted an offer to become Newcastle boss,
replacing the previous system of Stan Seymour and a nominal committee of
directors.
However, Duggie lasted barely a year at SJP, proving unpopular with the players and
famously seeing his team selection for the 1955 FA Cup Final rejected by the
directors when he omitted Jackie Milburn.
Wor Jackie was duly reinstated and opened the scoring in the first minute,
Livingstone cutting a lonely figure in the post-match celebrations as
trainer Norman Smith took centre stage in team photos (and misidentified
as Duggie ever since).
Relieved of first team responsibilities and exiled to coaching the juniors
the following season, he departed to Fulham in January 1956
- promptly losing 4-5 at home to United in the FA Cup later that month.
Duggie spent two years at Craven Cottage before moving on to Chesterfield,
where he gave a
promising 'keeper named Gordon Banks his senior debut - although financial pressures
meant that the future England international was later sold.
Exiting Saltergate in 1962, Livingstone was living in the Buckinghamshire town
of Marlow town when he died in 1981.
1930
Bill Paterson
born, Kinlochleven,
Scotland. (1954-58)
Defender who joined the Magpies
from Doncaster Rovers, having been at Belle Vue since 1950, beginning his
career with Inverness Thistle in his native Scotland.
Brought in to deputise for fan favourite Frank Brennan, Paterson made his debut
in a 4-4 draw at Spurs in October 1954 but played just four games that season.
He had to wait another year before returning to the starting XI, netting his
only league goal for United during a 1-2 home loss to Spurs in February 1956.
After a solitary runout the following season, Paterson returned north of the
border in a £3.5K transfer to Rangers, where he completed a clean sweep of
domestic honours and also appeared in the 1960/61 Cup Winners Cup defeat to
Fiorentina.
Further moves took him to Greenock Morton, Cheltenham Town and back to
Inverness Thistle before a spell out in Canada with Hamilton.
Upon his retirement Paterson entered the licensed trade, running hotels and
bars on both sides of the border. He died in 2002.
1999
Jake Turner born, Wilmslow.
(2019-22)
Goalkeeper who was a free agent when
signing for Newcastle in July 2019, joining the U23 Development squad.
Enduring an uncomfortable competitive bow as United lost 0-6 to Reading, Jake
saved a trio of
penalties in a shootout success against Newcastle Benfield in the
Northumberland Senior Cup in early 2020.
With Bolton Wanderers from the age of 14, Turner trained with the Trotters
first team while playing for the U23s.
Loaned to Frickley Athletic, Stalybridge Celtic and Darlington and he was on
the bench for Bolton's Championship game against Nottingham Forest
in May 2019.
With Bolton in administration, no contract offer was made to Jake (or the rest
of his squad) and he became a free agent.
Capped by England at U18 and U19 level while with Bolton,
Turner's first taste of Football League action came when Newcastle loaned
him to League Two Morecambe in September 2020 - although he was
ineligible to play when United won there 7-0 in a League Cup tie soon after.
Making 17 appearances in all competitions, an intended season-long switch
was curtailed in January 2021 after Jake lost his starting place and
returned to SJP.
Joining Colchester United on a half season loan in August 2021, Turner had another Senior Cup penalty shootout success
with Newcastle on the eve of his
23rd birthday, this time at North Shields.
Released in Summer
2022 he joined League Two side Gillingham, making a loan switch to Dagenham &
Redbridge in March 2025 before returning to play regularly at Priestfield
the following season.

A miss labelled as the
worst he'd ever seen by
United's Stan Seymour helped
the hosts to claim a point.
Billy Morris was the
culprit, racing on to reach
a through ball that had
eluded Magpies goalkeeper
Jack Fairbrother, but mis-kicking
with the empty goal at his
mercy.

completed in blizzard
conditions.

The SJP floodlights were

this Wednesday evening
(7.15pm) visit from the
Scottish side.
Newcastle came into the game
on the back of five
successive league and cup
defeats but found form under
the lights.
Jackie Milburn laid on both
goals for George Robledo,
while home 'keeper Ronnie
Simpson was impressive
against the side he joined
over a decade later.

despite goalscorer Bill
Curry missing 10 minutes
while receiving treatment
and being unable to continue
beyond the 75 minute mark.
And although not ending the
game with a goal to his
name, Bobby Mitchell was in
full flow and twice saw his
powerful shots rebound back
off the goal frame.
 1961
Newcastle's reserve side

The only goal that Barry
Venison ever managed in his
